The two earliest regular sized tomatoes for me every year besides some cherries are Amazon Chocolate and Anna Maria’s Heart. Amazon Chocolate produces then often develops some issue so I pull it but by then the other varieties are producing so I don’t miss it! Haven’t grown any of the others mentioned but am intrigued by Moravsky Div and might try that next year.

Oh, speaking of earlies, has anyone tried Stick?

I liked it, except it had kind of a chemical aftertaste (but I may have imagined that). The plant was pretty cool, and was the most interesting tomato plant to the largest wasps I had ever seen in my life. I'll probably grow it again.
Yes, I enjoy growing Stick for the novelty of it's poodle leaves every now and then. Not sure I would call it an early though. Flavor is just ok for me, typical non-de script kind of red.

You could put Pervaya Lyubov in a early,early category.... almost.
I grew an Amazon Chocolate PL one year, it was indeed one of the earliest, and it petered out early as well. P.Lyubov does the same here.

Well, pretty early is also Buckeye State, and size and taste is very good.
